Good question! I have complained about not knowing which way is which ever since
I left Southern California 25 Years Ago. I miss the Mountains.
If it wasn't for GPS I am afraid my flying might not be round trip.

Wow you guys need some flat land navigation training. What happens if the
GPS fails. Good old compass and clock, charts and if all else fails circle
a water tower.
Did a flight to a great fly in a few years ago. When I landed 200 miles
from home I forgot to power off my GPS/com before tuning off the engine.
When it was time to go home I found I had fried my GPS and radio. Adding to
the issue I had to deviate around some big thunder storms on the way home.
When I cleared the storms I knew I was way off course. The first town I
came to I circled the water tower to get the town's name. I was a good 30
miles off course. With my charts compass and clock It was no big deal to
get me close enough to familiar ground to get me home.
Now I have Fore Flight on my phone as a back up GPS.
